Official Review: The Smartest Person in the Room

[C Howard]

The smartest person in the room
Practice solutions to cyber security skills gap and the
lack of quality talent, insecurity, fear, defensiveness and winning the cybersecurity war. 4 year college degrees with practice certifications. Why are we losing the cybersecurity war; Kaizan: limited mindset, too much awareness and mono tasking. Evolution resulting in the need for the silver bullet to bring down AI and OS devices and NLP gone wrong that take over businesses or steal social security ID numbers and cybercriminal activities.
Congratulations on being BOTD

This sounds like an interesting new perspective on the cybersecurity issue. I wouldn’t have thought to address it from the interpersonal relationships angle. The repetition in the book could prove to be a problem, as could the tone, but it otherwise sounds like a well-informed book that could be read by anyone looking to improve their emotional intelligence. Thank you for the helpful review.

People skills are always very important in any industry, and it's great that the author shines light on its importance. I don't read non-fiction, so I'll pass on this book.

[Vidhi Adhikari]

Sounds like a great guide for IT professionals. However since cybersecurity is not my thing, I'll have to pass on this one. But will definitely recommend this to people interested in the genre. Congratulations on being listed as Book of the day.

Thank you for your informative review. I'm glad you did like at least most of the book. While I did take computer programming in college, I never went into it and now I'm retired. So as far as employment in IT goes, it's not for me. I did find the Secure Methodology technique interesting. I also liked his simple but straightforward way of writing easy to understand.

In certain types of careers there are those that are extremely intelligent but those people may lack skill in handling personnel. From the review it sounds like "The Smartest Person in the Room" by Christian Espinosa could be a book that can teach people skills through a system that the author has developed. Although the book garnered only three stars out of four, the reviewer stated that the book did have valuable information for those that need it.

The book emphasized on how cybersecurity officials need to be passionate about their job and possess emotional intelligence. I'm just heard about the Secure Methodology. The author outlined seven steps in the Secure Methodology technique. I hope the negative aspects the reviewer pointed out is considered. Congratulations on BOTD.

Although I'm not in cybersecurity, this book's emphasis on communication and empathy is valuable for anyone. I'm looking forward to the exercises and the 'Kaizen' step!

[Damian Keyes]

I'm in school right now to become a software engineer and need help implementing proper technology techniques in my personal and professional life. I'm always open to learning from those who have been where I am heading to. Congrats to the author for creating an important piece of work.

The most interesting thing about scientists is that they are always looking for something new to explore. Such a great review.

[B Sheila Holt]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this book through your review. I was a bit unsure as I read the sample, but your review was explanatory and very helpful. This is a great self-help book for offices and companies. Great job!!

The Smartest Person in the Room" by Christian Espinosa looks promising enough. I love learning new things and cyber insecurity is a concept I would love to learn more about.

[Paula Vida]

When I started reading your review, it surprised me that communication, empathy and emotional intelligence could be the solution for cybersecurity problems. I thought I might read the book, however being so detailed in explanation and repetitive, it could be a bit boring for me. Thanks for the review!

[Adeoluwa Adebusuyi]

The book sounds fascinating, I have always been excited about reading books on ICT. The book would be perfect for readers who enjoy reading books on ICT and Cyber security. Thanks for the review.

[Mayuri Kotalawala]

I removed a star because half of the book sounded repetitive, and the writer’s tone was too direct.

- That's true. If the book is about people skills, then its tone shouldn't be so direct and harsh. A very good, informative review. Thank you.
